If you are secretly in Spandex bike shorts underneath your suit for on-the-fly training sessions between conference calls, then maybe Jabra Bluetooth headset new Sport is for you.

This $ 99 device is supported by Sprint, T-Mobile and Apple, and will be available later in September with a wired version, aptly named the Jabra Sport-over for $ 69.

Some see it dirty little secret, or even great open secrets older workers. been hit harder by the recession. [through age is] something that [the employer] is talking about. But it is a reality in the technology if you are aged 45 and still writing C code or Cobol code and making $ 150 000 per year, the likelihood is that you will not be employed very long, said Vivek Wadhwa , which currently holds academic positions at several universities, including UC Berkeley, Duke and Harvard observation. Wadhwa said that the age bias is a simple label for a complicated set of factors that influence the employment prospects for senior high-tech employees.

The Nokia 500 was not the only device that appeared cool on the stand of Vodafone here at IFA this morning. We also managed to squeeze in some time with the Optimus Sol . The unit is reasonably smooth for the company seems to be framing a relatively low-end phone. At its center is a brilliant, brilliant 3.8-inch AMOLED display Super.

The Sol runs on Android 2.3 with a single-core processor running at 1 GHz – whose company points out should be good for those who do not do heavy work on the thing. He certainly handled that we could throw at it in our hands now. The handset is slim and light enough compared to the Optimus 2x , which outside the big four-inch display, seems quite similar. It should be very soon – some time later this month, most likely, for users of Vodafone Germany. A representative from LG, it should work out about € 300-contract.

And in March of Ultrabooks continues. In the wake of Toshiba and Lenovo , Acer announced the Aspire S3 at its IFA press conference – confirming unequivocally that the leak, we soon spotted a few days ago. The machine, made of magnesium alloy, a thin anorexic measures 13mm and weight only 140 kg. We are told that not only promises of instant access, but near-instantaneous connectivity – Acer said it will wake from its slumber in 1.5 seconds and register and connect to hotspots in about two years . Other features include a 13.3-inch screen (1366 x 768), ultra low voltage core i3, i5 and i7, a choice of solid-state storage or hard drive, Bluetooth 4.0 and a background without evacuation so you’re not left with first-degree burns. Depending on the configuration, the battery life is designed for a maximum of seven hours or up to 50 days in standby mode. Until now, we just hear European prices (€ 799 to € 1,199), even if Acer confirms it will arrive stateside by the end of September.

First accepted Submitter Zimanyi wrote Being the start of the school year, teachers of my children invariably ask if all parents have special skills they may have for students. As a software engineer, I want to make a presentation to the classes to develop software.

The difficult part is a presentation entertaining, inspirational, easy enough for students in second and fourth to grasp. Has anyone been brave enough to attempt such a thing? Are there any kid-tested packaged presentations freely available? Would it be better to present the development of a simple game? Web page? Any advice is welcome.

Submitter JoshuaZ first time accepted, writes Astronomers have discovered an unusual small star. SDSS J102915 172927 is a small, faint star with very few elements other than hydrogen or helium.

The composition of the star is surprising ( pdf) from the standard theories of star formation requires heavier elements in smaller stars, to allow stars to be heavy enough to meet. Perhaps the most unusual of the star is non – complete detection of lithium would be expected in a star of this size.

The only items created shortly after the Big Bang were lithium, hydrogen and helium and the star must have lithium levels much higher because they must closely match with the levels that would have been formed shortly after the Big Bang.

This is a good time to be a fan of the stylus. Not only Samsung has launched its friendly writing Slate Series 7 and note Galaxy tablets, but LG is to align the stylus in the lounge with its new series of plasma TVs PenTouch. Available in two varieties 50 inches and 60 inches, each TV comes with a pair of stilettos that you can touch or control the TV and included software such as a calendar and a photo gallery, or just draw on it to the content of your heart. As if this were not enough, the high-end 60-inch model is a 3D TV, and include a pair of active glasses – it will run you $ 2,199, while the non-3D models come to $ 1,699 and $ 1,099. Unfortunately, you will also have to provide your own Windows PC to take full advantage of this feature touch.

We have known that Bell aims to make the leap to LTE for nearly three years , but the Canadian carrier has kept incredibly silent on when or how he would pounce. If you believe an anonymous source, that silence may be coming to an end: the company will supposedly launch its 4G network soon and is rumored to have a phone and a tablet prepared to launch immediately. Devices suspects? None other than the Samsung S Galaxy and Galaxy II LTE tab 8.9. If this happens later in the fall, such an approach would put Bell in the race to become the second carrier in Canada to adopt the standard next-gen – TELUS and SaskTel are expected to upgrade next year – which gives the defenders of choice for wonderful things to expect over the next twelve months.
